    i think japan tried to do the wacky edit human face to tell the player "Why are you doing this, but this is kinda funny"
    but then actually gave the players the "Do it again and i will be your sleep paralysis demon"

    I was too old to be scared by the creepy faces LOL. I just thought they were goofy. That's because I was an adult when the GB camera was released. I still had a gameboy from my teen years so I decided to buy a GB camera and mess around with the features. I am fascinated by all things camera related.

    I think, This was the humor of Japanese kids in 90s (same logic why the infamous Sonic CD's "Infinite Fun" easter egg was considered as a joke)

      eh the thing is for sonic cd's easter egg the music was a lot more upbeat and cheerful for eu/jp releases of it, while the us was so much more scarier. if u search up "sonic cd easter egg japan" then you'll see how much less scary it is

      Actually the infinite fun wasn't creepy in the Japanese one
      The Japanese music for that was much different and upbeat
      Majin was just the dev's nickname
      And to finish this off. They just thought it looked humorous to them(Usually. Some Japanese kids still found it creepy)

      @@the_moon_gazer Yeah, the only reason it was scary for us US players was because an entirely different soundtrack was composed for the game. And since the easter egg used Eggman's boss theme, and in Sonic CD's US Release Eggman's theme was quite siniater, it led to the infamous reputation it has today.

    What's also weird is that if you use the GB Advance link cable with a printer and this camera, these faces pop up when you try to print something. The cable is missing some pads compared to the GB link cable and it doesn't fit in the printer (only when you clip off the plastic notch)

    • @AaronCShow
      @AaronCShow  2 роки тому +2

      Hey Lynsey! Hopefully I can help some with the information I gathered when making this video: from the research I had done, I didn't come across any sources that gave more information on specifically who the people in the photos were. It appears that they were probably Nintendo employees, either from Nintendo of Japan or America or both. I did try a face detector on the photos just to see if I could discover anything new, but it didn't create any new leads. I think this would be an interesting thing to dig a bit deeper into, perhaps someone could find a photo of the employees at the time and see if anyone looks similar, or an obscure interview from someone on the team about it. That would be awesome to discover and fully solve the mystery.
